TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of preparation of copper chloride dihydrate, and particularly relates to a method for preparing copper chloride dihydrate. BACKGROUND
[0002] At present, the route for producing copper chloride dihydrate is that copper-containing materials are oxidized into cupric oxide by an oxidizing agent (chlorine, hydrogen peroxide or nitric acid), and then reacted with hydrochloric acid to obtain copper chloride dihydrate by concentration and crystallization. This method is relatively complicated and is not suitable for industrial production. In addition, there is also a method for obtaining copper chloride dihydrate by dissolving and crystallizing anhydrous copper chloride and basic copper chloride through the addition of acid. The copper chloride dihydrate obtained by this method meets the requirements of industrial chemical raw materials, but does not meet the requirements of medical raw material synthesis. There is also a method for obtaining copper chloride dihydrate by using copper sulfate solution and barium chloride or copper carbonate and hydrochloric acid solution through the principle of double decomposition. The relative equipment conditions are harsh, and the safety and environmental protection requirements are high.
[0003] The traditional method for preparing copper chloride dihydrate has problems such as many impurities and low efficiency, and cannot meet the requirements of pharmaceutical grade.
[0004] The traditional method for preparing copper chloride dihydrate is to directly react cupric oxide with hydrochloric acid, and then evaporate and crystallize to obtain copper chloride dihydrate. The raw material copper often contains impurities such as arsenic, antimony and bismuth, which are dissolved together with copper in the acid dissolution process. It is difficult to remove the impurities deeply through conventional neutralization-precipitation or recrystallization, resulting in a high content of arsenic impurities in the product, which cannot meet the requirements of high-purity copper chloride dihydrate. At the same time, repeated recrystallization reduces the yield and increases the waste liquid. Although subsequent improvements such as sulfidation for arsenic removal and electrolytic purification are made, the process is long, the cost is high, and new sulfur impurities or metal ions are easily introduced. Therefore, it has become a technical bottleneck to be broken through in the field to develop a method for preparing copper chloride dihydrate with strong raw material adaptability, simple process, efficient inhibition of arsenic co-dissolution and one-step deep purification. SUMMARY

[0033] Comparative example 4 The difference between the present comparative example 1 and example 1 is that the mass ratio of UiO-66-NH2 to copper is 10:1.
[0034] Comparative example 5 The difference between the present comparative example 1 and example 1 is that the molar ratio of H2O2 to copper is 1:1.

[0036] Performance detection The instrument inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometer is used to detect the copper chloride dihydrate and its main impurities in examples 1-3 and comparative examples 1-6. The detection results are shown in the following table 1. GB / T 15901-2021 analytical pure requires that the content of arsenic in copper chloride dihydrate is ≤0.0002%, and the content of nickel is ≤0.001%.
[0037] Table 1 Detection results of copper chloride dihydrate and impurities
[0038] As can be seen from table 1, the copper chloride dihydrate prepared by the present application has high purity, and the contents of heavy metal ions nickel and arsenic are less than the standard required by GB / T 15901-2021 analytical pure. However, in comparative example 1, without adding H2O2 and UiO-66-NH2, the ability to remove arsenic is limited, and the content of arsenic is high. In comparative example 2, without adding H2O2, there is more trivalent arsenic in the solution, and the adsorption force of UiO-66-NH2 to pentavalent arsenic is high, but the adsorption capacity to trivalent arsenic is weak, so the content of arsenic in comparative example 2 is high. In comparative example 3, the mass ratio of UiO-66-NH2 to copper is too small, so the adsorption effect of UiO-66-NH2 is limited, and the effect of removing arsenic is weak. In comparative example 4, the content of UiO-66-NH2 is too high, which will lead to the loss of Cu 2+ , thereby reducing the content of copper chloride dihydrate and increasing the content of arsenic. In comparative examples 5 and 6, the molar ratio of H2O2 to copper is too small or too high, which will lead to the formation of complex of Cu 2+ , thereby reducing the content of copper chloride dihydrate and increasing the content of arsenic.
[0039] In summary, the method for preparing copper chloride dihydrate has the advantages of simplifying the process, reducing the production cost, and significantly improving the purity and safety of the product, and fully meets the pharmaceutical standards. The high efficiency and environmental protection characteristics of the method not only bring economic benefits to enterprises, but also make positive contributions to environmental protection, and have wide application prospect and development potential.
[0040] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
